2 Opening Symposium for the Sustainability Week Hokkaido University, November 2, 2009 Proposals by Hokkaido University for the Sustainable Development Global Surveillance is the Key for the Control of Zoonoses How to control avian, swine, and pandemic influenza as an example Hiroshi Kida Professor, Graduate School of Veterinary Medicine Director, Research Center for Zoonosis Control Head, OIE Reference Laboratory for Avian Influenza Hokkaido University, Sapporo, Japan

3 Are we substantially prepared for pandemic influenza? * Why have the H5N1 HPAIVs persisted in poultry for 12 years? * Why are antigenic variants selected? * Will the HPAIVs returned to migratory birds persist in nature? * How should avian influenza be controlled in poultry? * What are the advantage and disadvantage of the use of vaccines? * Is it OK to forget about H5N1 avian influenza virus strain after the swine-origin H1N1 strain emerged? * Are the measures for the control of seasonal flu satisfactory? Ecology of influenza viruses in nature, birds and mammals; * Origin, evolution, and perpetuation of influenza virus in nature. * Mechanism of the emergence of highly pathogenic avian flu virus and human pandemic strains. * Antigenic variation and genetic reassortment of influenza viruses.

8 Duck influenza Each of the known subtypes (H1-16, 16 N1-9) of influenza A virus has been isolated from ducks. In ducks, viruses replicate in the colon, being shed with feces in a week, and non-pathogenic. Water-borne fecal-oral l transmission i Ducks carry and provide viruses during migration and over-wintering. Migratory duck is the NATURAL HOST of influenza A viruses. Kida H et al (1980) Infect Immun

9 Influenza viruses are antigenically and genetically highly conserved in ducks. Viruses replicating in the intestine are not under the serum antibody selection pressure. 40 to 50 % of population of migratory ducks are juvenile birds that hatched in the summer. Preserved in frozen water of the lakes, where they nest in summer, in winter. Kida H et al (1987) Virology; Ito et al (1995) Arch Virol

10 HAs of H3N2 viruses isolated from pigs in southern China Closely related with those of A/Hong Kong/68 (H3N2) and H3 viruses isolated from migratory ducks. Amino acid sequences at the receptor-binding site on the HA indicate either specificity to human or avian type receptors. Both types of receptoer were found on the surface of the epitherial cells lining the upper respiratory tract of pigs. Kida H et al (1988) Virology

11 Influenza viruses isolated from domestic ducks in southern China HAs of influenza viruses isolated from domestic ducks in southern China closely related with those of viruses isolated from migratory ducks, pigs, and A/Hong Kong /68 antigenically and genetically. Each of the viruses was isolated on the Pacific Flyway of migratory ducks. Migratory duck domestic duck pig humans Yasuda J (1991) J Gen Virol

13 The role of pigs in the emergence of pandemic influenza virus strains Pigs are susceptible to avian influenza viruses of each of the HA subtypes. Genetic reassortants were generated in the cells lining upper respiratory tract of pig upon concurrent infection with mammalian and avian strains. Kida H et al (1994) J Gen Virol

22 Influenza Vaccine for bird flu may prevent manifestation of disease signs and decrease the amount of virus shed, but does not confer protective immunity from infection. is produced with inactivated virus, not live virus. Test and culling or stamping-out policy is recommended for the control o of avian a influenza. Vaccination is not recommended but one of the options applied only under DIVA (differentiating infected from vaccinated animals) based strategy as a tool is, in addition to, not instead of test and culling policy. Country where vaccine is used is not designated as HPAI-free. must lead silent spread of virus.

27 Library of vaccine strain candidates Influenza viruses of 61 combinations of the HA and NA subtypes have been isolated from fecal samples of ducks in Alaska, Siberia, i Mongolia, Taiwan, China, and Japan (black). 83other combinatations have been generated by genetic reassortment procedure in the lab (red).. Isolates from ducks Reassortants Thus, 246 avian influenza viruses of 144 combinations of HA and NA subtypes have been stocked as vaccine strain candidates. Their pathogenicity, antigenicity, genetic information and yield in chicken embryo have been analyzed, databased, and opened for Web site (

28 Are we prepared for pandemic flu? 1. H1 to H16 and N1 to N9 subtypes of influenza A viruses perpetuate in the lakes where ducks nest in nature. 2. Viruses maintained by natural reservoir are antigenically and genetically stasis H2N2 and 1968 H3N2 viruses are reassortants between avian influenza virus and the preceding human strains. 4. Pigs are susceptible to both of avian and mammalian viruses and generate reassortants. 5. Avian viruses of any subtype can contribute genes for reassortants: None of the 16 HA and 9 NA subtypes can be ruled out as potential candidates for future pandemics. 6. Surveillance of swine flu is crucial in the countries where avian flu has not been controlled. 7. Preparedness for pandemic flu should be based on the measures for the control of seasonal flu. 8. Does the swine-origin new H1N1 virus cause seasonal influenza? Then, what should be done for the seasonal flu vaccine?

29 How should influenza be controlled? * Why do the H5N1 HPAIVs have persisted in poultry for 12 years? * Why do these strains show antigenic variation? Misuse of Vaccine * Will the HPAIVs that returned to migratory birds persist in nature? * How should avian influenza be controlled in poultry? Stamping-out without misuse of vaccine is only way, so far. * What are the advantage and disadvantage of the use of vaccines? * Are the measures for the control of seasonal flu satisfactory? The measures how to control pandemic influenza should be based on the measures for the control of seasonal influenza. * The swine-origin new H1N1 virus should cause seasonal influenza. Vaccine for seasonal influenza should contain the new H1N1 virus antigen. Global surveillance and seasonal flu control measure-based strategy
